Season 2, Episode 44: A Guide to Birth Control, Part 3: The Patch and The Pill
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains a direct and frank discussion of contraception, sexual health, and medical procedures. Listener discretion is advised.
Continuing the deep dive into contraception, this third part of the five-part series explores two of the most well-known and widely used "on-schedule" birth control methods: the patch and the pill.
This is your complete guide to understanding these popular hormonal options. The host provides a clear, detailed, and non-judgmental breakdown of how each method works, its real-world effectiveness, costs, potential side effects, and what you need to do to use them correctly.
This is your guide to two of the most common birth control methods, covering:
- The Birth Control Patch: A deep dive into how this weekly patch works, where to apply it, and the importance of changing it on time.
- The Birth Control Pill: An explanation of the two types—Combination Pills and Progestin-Only Pills ("mini-pills")—and how to use them to safely skip your period.
- Crucial Drug Interactions: A vital warning about common medications (like certain antibiotics) and supplements (St. John's Wort) that can make hormonal birth control less effective.
